Richard Gere, Hilary Swank Filming Amelia 
  Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I think you know what we're going to say.  Must we see something furgly every day?  I know, I know, this movie is set in the 1930's, but it just kills us to see that poor dead fuzzy guy slung around Hillary Swank's neck like that.  Hopefully it's a fake or a donation from PETA.  Okay, I got that out of my system.

This should be a really good flick, though.  Richard Gere and Hilary Swank are currently filming "Amelia," directed by Mira Nair and written by Susan Butler, Mary Lovell, Elgen Long, and Ronald Bass.  It's a movie about the life of the famous American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937.  Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and was a women's advocate who set many records in aviation.  Swank is a phenomenal actress - and who doesn't love Richard Gere?

A release date has not yet been made public but the film should be out sometime in 2009.  Thanks to Louie D and the Central Image Agency for this first shot from the set!
